See as the Argentina players were rushing and passing the ball to Messi, hoping he delivers them, forgetting that he is the oldest player on the pitch. Unlike his rival that wait for the final pass because he is old.... LOL

When you don't attack your opponent you give your opponent the opportunity to attack you.

Tuchel messed up big time!

Una still dey talk ba? None of you believed Argentina will win this game, I'm thinking how many of English football and Ronaldo fans who'd be in deep pain and heart ache at the moment, the pain is too much, I see people comparing Ronaldo to Messi as pple with low IQ.
Are you okay? Have already said Argentina will win. I didn't even expect England to score any goal because they're playing rubbish. Na luck England take reach this semi finals

Dude are you normal? Where in my comment did you see me talking about Ronaldo and Messi? Are they both in Spain?

Oga Carry your pho.oolishness out of my comment

1. Egypt was very very weak v argentina. They tried to defend a two goal lead against argentina. You don't do that. It's only Italy that plays that kind of football, and even then it sometimes backfires on them.

2. At the end, England is not good enough really. Never has been. It's been said over and over again. Even with Premier league, most of the guys in the top teams in the Premiership are foreigners. Including people from Argentina. And yeah, that tends to weaken the national team

Still, that's a first semifnal from the coach at his first attempt. Not bad. the late Robson took eight years to get to the semis of a world cup as coach of England. Tuchel did it on his first try. (So also did Southgate.).

But england don't have good enough players. Again, it's been said over and over again over the years. Good, but not good enough.

Argentina take football also more seriously than many other countries....like I said, compare Argentina's olympic medal haul since 1948 vs the UK. You go see something.
Brother, I can NEVER agree with that part about them not having good enough players.

They have very good players who were clearly under-utilized by this average coach.

The moment they took the lead, the cl0wn dismantled the midfield, and brought in defensive players... No more movement and creativity or flow down the middle.

Rashford and Toney he brought in at the end couldn't do a damn thing because there was no link up within that sacred middle space, yet Mainoo was on that bench... Doing what exactly?!!


England could have reached another historical final if they had a coach with balls.

Simple as that!

England coach messed up . You have Saka , Eze and Rash ford on the bench ,you cannot make changes that will force Argentina to defend . Nawa coach you mess up . Waited for Argentina to score before you bring in Rashford
Argentina is bigger and better than England by far. Even if he brought in Saka abi Kaka, brought in Rashford abi Rashidi, Beckham, Thierry Henry, Ronaldo Delima, Ronaldinho, Zidane, De Rossi, etc, Argentina would have still won because of Messi.


You guys don't know who Messi is sha, the guy carry special grace beyond football skill and talent
Re: England Vs Argentina: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (1 - 2) On 15th July 2026 by nairalanda1(m): 10:22pm On Jul 15
For those of you blasting Tuchel, what would you say about Ancelotti.? FIVE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TITLES AS A COACH (and two as a player).

When he got the Brazil job, I was happy. Thought Brazil had scored a coup. Well, we all saw how Brazil played. Good coach cannot fix broken.

Tuchel took a largely group of not very good players....and took them to the semis of the world cup. At his first attempt. Is that a bad coach?
Re: England Vs Argentina: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (1 - 2) On 15th July 2026 by Unclewilly: 10:22pm On Jul 15
So Israel can control FIFA, VAR, referees, and even infantiano to make Messi win another World Cup final? At this point, am beginning to wonder if there is anything they can't do? 🤔😂

THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENSE.

When you are afraid to lose then you lose even more.

Up Messi.

Did Ronaldo teammates even try to pass to him.
There's a place against Spain he tries to make a run when Vitinha did as if he wants to make a diagonal pass, only for Vitinha to turn back and pass backwards

If Spain brings Tiki-Taka, Argentina knows how to play it, on a high paced level, for that matter.
Plus, Argentina has MESSI, who knows Spanish football and gameplay in and out.

I'm sorry, but... Spain needs to be worried this time.

England’s coach did not learn from others. The more you try to protect a goal the more you lose. I saw the outcome of this match from start. grin
It's not as easy as you think. You are just a spectator from outside.

When a good footballing team is on the lose, they switch their formation to overload the opposition's midfield and defence. They make intricate passes, more searching passes and more forward runs.


At that point, it's difficult to dictate the game at your own tempo. Most times you surrender to the opposition's tempo. The only time you can break their tempo and force your's is only when your team is far more efficient than the opponent. For e.g. Bayern vs Barca 8 - 2. Bayern was just so superior in that game, and kept scoring yet dictating the tempo.

England is not superior to Argentina; they are level. Hence, they must bow to the Argentina pressure.

All tunchel to do was bring was control the midfield area , he just needed to bring on an experienced midfielder like Henderson or a fresh Kobbie mainoo to soak up the pressure in the midfield area,but he was bringing defenders like a clueless coach. Argentina figured his tactics and countered it by bringing more attackers. He invited the pressure and at last paid for it heavily.
Re: England Vs Argentina: World Cup 2026 Semi-Finals (1 - 2) On 15th July 2026 by Banbanna(m): 10:24pm On Jul 15
We were all thinking he was an upgrade on Southgate, How wrong were we. He is not in any way better than Southgate that took them to the 2018 semi final. His football tactics was a disgrace tonight. England is definitely going nowhere with this coach. Not even a final of any tournament. Their FA should sack him.
ARISHEM:
They were knocking on the door after the hydration break and yet Tuschel refused to substitute Anderson who was on a yellow with a capable midfielder.
This Tuschel should be investigated.

Let FiFa stop 3rd place matches.
It's very useless!
If you have lost the semis just pack your stuffs and go home.
Like seriously, it's like torture to me
One of the reason I really wanted Argentina to today's match is that I couldn't imagine them playing 3rd place with France, e just no necessary.
I for no watch the match.
Thank God sha

Messi. Upcoming two times World Cup winner. I bow to your greatness. You are evidence of divinity. Fortune favours the bold. Thank you for schooling England coach tonight.
Messi is a freak of nature!
At 39, many years way past when professional players must have retired...he is still in his peak. Can you imagine that?
He has already won the golden ball and golden boot of this tournament...At 39!!!

Messi is like a super hero with super powers.

It seems the gods favoured him specially because he overcame all barriers.

Now Argentina has won two consecutive continental cups and two consecutive world cups. (Yes they have already defeated Spain. Sure bet).
